| 24. And HE it is Who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Mecca, after HE had given you victory over them. And ALLAH sees all that you do. 25. It is they who disbelieved and debarred you from the Sacred Mosque and also prevented the dedicated offerings from reaching their place of sacrifice. And had it not been for some believing men and believing women who were then in Mecca and whom, not having known, you might have trampled down, and thus might have, on their account, incurred an unwitting guilt, HE would have permitted you to fight, but HE withheld you that HE might admit into HIS mercy whom HE will. If they had been clearly separated from the disbelievers, WE would have, surely, punished those of them who disbelieved with a grievous punishment. 26. When those who disbelieved harboured in their hearts prideful indignation - indignation of the Days of Ignorance, ALLAH sent down HIS tranquility on HIS Messenger and on the believers, and made them adhere firmly to the principle of righteousness, and they were better entitled to it and more worthy of it. And ALLAH knows everything well. 27. ALLAH, indeed, fulfilled for HIS Messenger the Vision: You shall certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if ALLAH will, in security, some of you having their heads shaven and others having their hair cut short, you will have no fear. But HE knew what you knew not. HE has, in fact, ordained for you, besides that, a victory near at hand. 28. HE it is Who has sent HIS Messenger with guidance and the true Religion, That HE may cause it to prevail over all other religions. And sufficient is ALLAH as a Witness. |
